ker House, DIR. Judson Smith, one OF the
Secretaries of the American Board of Com
missioners of Foreign Missions, delivered
the following address:
To Her Majesty, Kapiolani, Queen OF the
Hawaiian Kingdom, health, prosper
ity and peace in the Lord:
In the name of the American Board Of
Commissioners for Foreign Missions, and
as officers of the Board we beg to present
to your Majesty herewith hearty greetings
and sincere respect
Since Your Majesty's arrival in this
country, the representatives of the United
States, the Commonwealth of Massachu-
sets and of the city of Boston, have We'd
with each other in the proofs of courtesy
and honor which they have bestowed upon
Your Majesty. 1t seems appropriate also
that the officers of the missionary board,
through whose agency in years past such
great and notable blessings have come to
the Hawaiian Kingdom and people, and
between whom and your Royal predeces-
sors relations of such friendship and conf
dence have existed, should in this simple
way add their recognition and hearty well
come to the general greetings of the hour
The deep and wonderful change wrought
IN the spirit of your people in their intel
lectual and social life in their tastes, in
their industries and in all the conditions
of national strength and national prosper
ity by the blessing of Almighty God upon
the services of our missionaries, have been
the wonder and REJOICING of all Christian
nations.
We recall how quickly your people re-
sponded to those better influences, and
how eagerly many Royal and princely per-
sonages welcomed and aided these benef-
cent labors; we wish to mention here with
special honor three women of Royal de-
scent-Kapuolani, Kaahumanu and Kapi-
olani-whose names and services are of
blessed memory.
We pray that all blessings of peace and
prosperity may attend your realm, and
make the reign of Your Majesties, the
King and Queen of Hawaii, an honorable
and glorious epoch in the annals of your
people.
We hereby tender to Your Majesty the
freedom of our official residence at No. 1
Somerset street, and we venture to express
the hope that we may be honored there by
a visit from Your Majesty at your gracious
pleasure.
We are, in behalf of the American Board
of Commissioners for Foreign Missions,
Your Majesty's Obedient servants,

Secretary for Hawaiian Islands, etc.

The Atwood Advocate speaks as fol-
lows of Felix Hoy, a former well known
"cullud pusson" of Abilene, who had a
wonderful propensity for borrowing
quarters from everybody he could work,
to purchase the necessary ''foh fingahs:"
About dozen teams from here went
up to the Buttes this week, after pitch
pine wood. and all came home loaded.
Felix Hoy went along to give tone and
color to the crowd, and while wander
ing around in the deep canons on the
second day of their arrival at the Buttes,
Felix, or Steamboat" as he is more
Familiarity called, came Unexpectedly
upon amountain catamOunt. The sud-
den meeting was as much of surprise
to the wildcat'as it was to the darkey
Steamboat" says he never "took the
ague'' so quick in his life as he did at
that moment. The cat forced the in
PRODUCTION by jump forward, just as
the darkey let loose an African blunder-
buss he was carrying. The charge en-
tered vital spot and the cat rolled
overhead. The animal measured five
feet seven inches in length, and was a
noble specimen. Steamboat" feels
proud of lis great achievement.

Another big railroad scheme, which
is liable to make Abilene one of
its objective points, is spoken of as fol-
lows in the Topeka State Jo1unal:-
The charter of the Kansas Western
railroad company was filed in the Office
of the secretary of state to-day. This
is one of the most important railroad
charters filed during the year, and pro-
vides for 5000 miles of railroad within
the limits of Kansas.
That the company means business
nothing is better evidence than the
names of the directors, consisting of
such men as George J. Gould, of New
York; E. G. Merriam and George G.
Smith. of st. Louis; Frank Everest
and w. W. Pagan, of Atchison. The
capital stock of the company is $780,
600 600.
The charter provides for a road from
the city of Atchison, through Atchison,
Jefferson and Shawnee counties to To
peka, and thence southwesterly to the
western boundary of the state.
Another line is provided for, running
west from Atchison to the west line OF
the state.
4 southern line is provided for leay-
ing the main line at Stockton, and run
ming thence to the southern line of the
state.
There is scarcely a county in the
state that the main line or branch Lines
do not touch.

The Union Square Company appeared
in the opera house the last three even
ings of last week. Upon the World"
was given the first night, and NIP and
Tuck' the second, both of which plays
were fairly presented. On the last
night "Joshua Whitcomb" was given,
which proved to be an elephant for
nearly the entire company. This well
known and laughable comedy was SIM
ply murdered. If the manager, Mr..
Arnold, is sensible, he will either cease
putting it on, or get people who can
present it in proper shape.

The Gazette feels awfully indignant
over the fact that several editors of
journals in the western part of the
state are stealing its thunder. If the
aforesaid editors only knew that what
they appropriate in this surreptitious
manner was second hand, they wouldn't
sit up nights to grieve over the scOld-
ing they are being subjected to. The
Atchison editor has an original idea
enthusiastically. You can always
tell the original from the scissors"
ones, for they are written invariably
on the same subject, woman"

Four electric fire alarm boxes have
been placed throughout the city, at

church and DR.. Kings. These alarms
are connected with the water works,
also with the residences of the fire de-

have been furnished to parties who have
the best chance to use them, in case of
a fire. The Improvement is good one,
and will doubtless be the cause of saw
